We at Morbid Anatomy are busily invoking Saint Florian--patron saint invoked against fire, floods and drowning, as well as patron saints of firefighters--as we wait out Hurricane Sandy and hope for the best outcome for the central flood-zone-located Morbid Anatomy Library.

Top Image: Saint Florian, 1473 painting by Francesco del Cossa. Found on Wikipedia.

Fingers crossed that all you East Coasters make it though this, collections and health intact!

ONCE, we commemorated the dead, left out offerings to feed them and lamps to guide them home. These days, Halloween has drifted far from its roots in pagan and Catholic festivals, and the spirits we appease are no longer those of the dead: needy ghosts have been replaced by costumed children demanding treats.

Over the last century, as Europeans and North Americans began sequestering the dying and dead away from everyday life, our society has been pushing death to the margins. We tune in to television shows about serial killers, but real bodies are hidden from view, edited out of news coverage, secreted behind hospital curtains. The result, as Michael Lesy wrote in his 1987 book The Forbidden Zone, is that when death does occur, “it reverberates like a handclap in an empty auditorium.”

It wasn’t always this way. Death once occurred at home, with friends and family gathered around. Local women were responsible for washing the body and sewing the shroud. People sometimes slept in the same room as corpses, because there was nowhere else to go. In the Middle Ages, cemeteries often acted as the public square: you didn’t just walk on the graves, you ate, drank, traded and sometimes even sang and danced on top of them...

--"The Dead Have Something to Tell You," Bess Lovejoy, The New York Times

A modern day Halloween-inspired Memento Mori in yesterday's New York Times by well-missed friend-of-Morbid-Anatomy Bess Lovejoy, author of the forthcoming book Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses. We hope she will come give a lecture at Observatory as part of her book tour?!?

Teddy Bear Hospital Leeds - Introduction
Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH) is a health project at medical schools across the country and runs in conjunction with the European Medical Students #39; Association. The project is aimed at young children between the ages of 5-7 years to help alleviate their concerns and anxieties about hospitals and doctors through fun activities and play. A team of medical students have set up workshops at local schools addressing different topics, such as healthy eating, X-rays, basic First Aid, basic anatomy and introduction to the surgical theatre. We also aim to familiarise the children with doctors and hospital settings through role play and in the process eradicate any #39;white coat anxiety #39;. This is a great opportunity for medical students to further develop their communication skills with children. All year groups are welcome! To find out more about TBH and ways to get involved email us at tbh.leeds@googlemail.comFrom:TBHLeedsViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:25More inEducation

Anthropomorphic Robotic Finger with Bio-mimetic Joints
This demo presents an anthropomorphic robotic finger developed at Movement Control Lab, CSE, Univ. of Washington, Seattle, Washington. It is composed of three bio-mimetic joints whose bio-mechanics and dynamic properties are close to their human counterparts.By using six pneumatic cylinders, the robotic finger is actuated through a series of simplified antagonistic tendons whose insertion points and moment arms at each joint are inherited from the anatomy of the human finger. The dynamics of the artificial finger is investigated under disturbance rejection, set point tracking and trajectory tracking. The kinematic model of the artificial finger system is constructed with help of MuJoCo - a physics engine custom-developed - to simulate the interaction between the finger #39;s joints and tendons.From:Vikash KumarViews:2 0ratingsTime:03:10More inEducation

Dancin #39; Like We #39;re Dumb
The original is by NorthernHearts. :3 Well... I #39;ve never animated in that style before. Oo This character is Ria. This took me quite a while for a five frame animation because I stated off with anatomy, then sketch, then outline (Which I had to do in GIMP because Paint hates me.) then color/backround. I #39;m pleased with it but I could #39;ve done better. Oh well. The song is We R Who We R by Ke$ha.

My Christmas Wishlist 2012!
Aaah, my favorite time of the year is approaching, and I CAN #39;T WAIT. To keep up the lovely tradition, I will participate in the Christmas Wishlist again this year! I have already prepared some video-making for lists I #39;ve found, but I will try to make much more wishes come true this year. I hope many of you do so too! My wishlist: 1) A collab with me for a kdrama video! Just the two of us, or more people, I don #39;t really care. But I have so many ideas and I hate cutting songs, but doing the whole song is difficult! Also I just really love vidding, but sometimes I don #39;t have inspiration. So either way, I #39;d love it if people would collab with me! 😀 2) A great link to download high quality episodes of kdramas, because the torrents i find take a looong ass time and aren #39;t always that good to use in videos. 3) A badass video of badass people with any of these: nikita, hawaii five-o, bones, castle, teen wolf, tvd, sherlock, Grey #39;s anatomy, charmed 4) More people to follow me on Tumblr or people requesting graphics/gifs on tumblr! http://www.belle-princess.tumblr.com 5) A kdrama video dedicated to me. Of: Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Me Too Flower, Protect the boss, Cityhunter, Boys over flowers (but about one of the side characters, not Joon Pyo and Jan Di, more like Yi Jung!), Coffee Prince, Bridal Mask, My Girl, My Princess, Personal Taste, Heartstrings, You #39;re Beautiful,.. Or if you have other dramas I don #39;t know about? Make a video and that way you can recommend the drama to me! 😀 6 ...From:MusicPrincessxoxoViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:15More inEntertainment
